Explore with fastjet: Bushtrack Africa Steam Train at Victoria Falls

It’s a truly magnificent sight that hits you; as you as you take those first few steps off a classic steam train onto the Victoria Falls Bridge. You’re above a vibrant rainbow, standing in the cool, gusting spray; and you look over the railings to find you’re over a hundred meters up in the air, staring out over a natural world wonder…

On board the Bushtracks Express you recognize the unmistakable, welcoming rhythm and vibration of the steam locomotive chugging ahead, pulling the vintage design carriages off one of the most iconic railway bridges ever built, and into the African bush

‘Bushtracks Express’, a signature product of Bushtracks Africa – a leading Destination Management Company for Southern Africa.

Bushtracks Africa, along with it’s luxurious steam-train safaris, has an impressive portfolio of products that include luxury river safaris that depart daily, taking you to the inner reaches of the upper Zambezi river. The Bushtracks River Safaris operate with three boat options; The Victoria is the premium river safari where guests can glide downstream towards The Victoria Falls, whilst lounging in comfort. A chef from the Victoria Falls Hotel prepares sushi and other gourmet canapés, and on-board hosts & barmen serve beverages to enjoy whilst observing the rich birding and game viewing opportunities that are prolific underneath the magical spray. The Victoria bears the mark of exclusivity when it comes to river cruises in the region - it is jet propelled and specially designed to safely navigate the shallow waters just above the Falls.

The Cormorant and Darter are designed for safari comfort and practicality. Explore smaller channels closer to the Falls, and enjoy having the birdlife the wildlife all to yourselves. The principle of exploration is that you travel to places that seem untouchable. Places that beg to be seen, yet seem to be out of reach. However, every aspect of this beautiful patch of earth deserves its share of our appreciation, and using specially designed jet propellers the boats can take passengers into the very shallow water amongst the islands directly above the waterfall. Meandering between the islands gives you a glimpse of the ‘Smoke That Thunders’, before and after it has rumbled over the edge of the Victoria Falls.

They also operate a sizable fleet of safe and comfortable transfer and game-viewing vehicles, and run a cohesive, international team of experienced guides and consultants that span across the three countries of Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Their specialty? Creating stress-free, luxury travel across the heart of Southern Africa. Bushtracks Africa offer all the beauty and relaxation, infused with a wild, exotic hybrid of opulence and modesty - all tied in with the fascinating people, places and stories that go along with it.

Wonderful stories of conservation & community; innovative projects that inspire and uplift both the humanity around us, and the wildly complex biodiversity you are immersed in – the Victoria Falls region is a truly beautiful part of the world, and Bushtracks Africa can show it to you.

Victoria Falls Zambia - The Royal Livingston Hotel

After 37 hour of Flying I finally arrived in Livingston airport in Zambia. It was well worth it to mark Victoria Falls, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, off of my bucket list./ WHile here I chose to stay at the Royal Livingston Hotel, as close as you can get to Victoria Falls on the Zambian side. Traveling in September it had been pretty dry, so Victoria Falls was not in its full glory, but it was still spectacular. Staying at the Royal Livingston, you get complimentary access to the falls. A guide offered to take me to the Devils pool, which I declined, due to it being late and I was totally exhausted. He would not take no for an answer and next thing I knew, I was swimming in the pool looking over the spectacular falls!!!

“It’s beauty that captures your attention – personality that captures your heart” – Oscar Wilde

The essence of the reinvented Stanley & Livingstone is ‘intrinsically historic’. Inspired by a contemporary take on colonial style, its character will be classic – with a sense of adventure. While honouring the hotel’s rich heritage, our bold approach to its updated design will play with natural light and quirky features to create spaces that are engaging and inspiring.

The hotel is intended to be a pause on an itinerary of spectacular Southern African places and experiences, and is set within the 2 500-hectare (6 200-acre) Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve. It’s land safaris offer guests a unique experience, with the chance to see all of the Big Five – including the rare and endangered black rhino. Water safaris are operated too, and present an entirely different game-viewing experience of the reserve’s semiaquatic species, including crocodile and hippo.
